•
Use B5 (biodiesel contend of 5%) or lesser blend
in cold weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as
they may be degrade over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging maybe expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more
information on biodiesel.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Note:
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Fill the
fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty
space in the tank allows the gasoline to expand.
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler
neck. This space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any fuel
that may have spilled.
4. If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This will
minimize possible buildup of condensation inside
the fuel tank.
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine, check
the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking
the Oil Level in Maintenance.
Switching the Fuel Tanks
Important:
Do not run the machine out of fuel.
The fuel selector valve is located behind the left side
of the seat.
The unit has two fuel tanks. One tank is on the left
side and one on the right side. Each tank connects to
the fuel selector valve. From there a common fuel line
leads to the engine (Figure 7).
To use the left side fuel tank rotate the fuel selector
valve to the LH position, lefthand location. To use the
right side fuel tank rotate the fuel selector valve to the
RH position, righthand location (Figure 7)
Close the fuel selector valve before transporting or
storing machine.

Using the Rollover Protection
System (ROPS)
WARNING
To avoid injury or death from rollover: keep the
roll bar in the raised locked position and use the
seat belt.
Ensure that the rear part of the seat is secured with
the seat latch.
WARNING
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar
is in the down position.
•
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
•
Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is
in the down position.
•
Drive slowly and carefully.
•
Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
driving under any objects and do not contact
them.
Important:
Lower the roll bar only when
absolutely necessary.
1. Remove the hairpin cotter pins and remove the two
pins (Figure 9).
2. Lower the the roll bar to the down position. There
are two down positions. See Figure 8 for the
positions.
